Submission Box

Students put comics they're really proud of into this box. I decorated it using various templates I had lying around. These pictures were taken before I brought it into the library.

Since resting there, some kids started to color it. It also suffered a little damage from use. On May 23, about six months after the CCP had began, I took some pictures of the box in its condition after being used.

Can of Inspiration

Many of my students ran into writer's block. To help them, I created the Can of Inspiration. Kids reached in to pull out slips of paper with suggestions for topics, character personalities, and even snippets of dialogue. It was a very useful tool.

The can was decorated with a character from Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki. On the reverse side (not shown) was an "Avatar" comic by Johane Matte. This can was retired in June 2007 after being used quite often.

In December 2007, I needed a new Can of Inspiration, so I bought a plain red can from a crafts store. It was first used at the 12/29/07 Toonseum Workshop.

It lacks the first's fancy decorations for now, but it has a working lid.

I made several fliers to advertise the CCP both at the New Haven Library and the Dixwell-Yale Community Learning Center.
